There are a couple programs that you can use. I have not personally use either, but I have heard they are good.

http://www.realtimesoft.com/ultramon/

http://www.binaryfortress.com/displayfusion/

Or if you're on XP, you can use desktop items. Go into your display properties and teh desktop tab. Click on 'Customize Desktop' and go to the web tab. Click new and you'll get a dialog box. You can add either a picture or a webpage. Then your picture will appear on the desktop and it'll look like a regular window. Take it to the monitor you want it on and hit the maximize button.

It isn't really a wallpaper, but more a picture that you have maximized. You should be able to lock it down too. I think there is an option that says lock web items, or something like that.

Yeah, basically what you do is make an image that is the combined total of your resolutions horizontally, and vertically make it the height of the larger of the two (ie, 1024x768 and 1280x1024 = 2304x1024 image size). Then you add it as a web item. It's a bit of a pain if your monitors don't have the same resolution because you'll lose some of the image on the smaller of the two.

Of course you can always graft two images into the same file and appear to have two seperate choices in background but they're in the same file, arranged in such a way that you don't lose anything from either of em.
